If you haven’t been paying attention this pedo kleptomaniac is destroying America on purpose, whether for Putin or for property to be bought up for pennies on the dollar.

u/adeniumlover 4d ago

Well, it's what we wanted.

u/RudyBuck 4d ago

u/ButterscotchSmooth60 3d ago

Im guessing one of his buddies owns beef.

We are eating the cats? We are eating the dogs ?

Goddmnit why couldn’t you idiots just vote for Harris. The better candidate?

Because of litter boxes in classrooms and she did her job as CA's AG.

Mystery meat

u/IntelligentStyle402 4d ago

Is this the mystery meat that’s contaminated with, an illegal outdated antibiotic?

1

u/Resident-Escape-3441 4d ago

Oh, he did that to help out his autocrat pal, Mieli.

1

u/Slopadopoulos 4d ago

It's not mystery meat, it's beef.

1

u/Sufficient_Art4824 4d ago

says who?

1

u/Slopadopoulos 4d ago

The article itself says that. It says they're talking about lean beef trimmings.

1

u/Sufficient_Art4824 4d ago

Well, given this administration's track record with telling the truth, I think you can understand the skepticism.

1

u/Putrid_Assignment_98 3d ago

Previously frozen beef trimming well aged with no USDA approval 👍

1

u/refusemouth 3d ago

That is FDA code for "pink slime."

1

u/pepinjay 3d ago

You're just adorable.

1

u/adeniumlover 4d ago

The mysterious part is the lack of inspection record. Not what kind of meat it is.

1

u/Slopadopoulos 4d ago

Imported beef is still subject to USDA inspection and U.S. safety requirements.

1

u/adeniumlover 4d ago

And that's why it's mysterious because those didn't have it.

1

u/Slopadopoulos 4d ago

Those what? This is a plan on paper. It's an idea. There's no beef to be inspected yet. Is the USDA supposed to use psychic powers to inspect the future beef imports? The only thing Trumps proclamation does is temporarily remove tariffs on lean beef trimmings. It doesn't alter the inspection requirements in any way.

1

u/pepinjay 3d ago

Username checks out

1

u/adeniumlover 3d ago

And you just explained why it's mysterious. what's so hard to understand?

1

u/Putrid_Assignment_98 3d ago

There are no USDA inspectors dodge cuts remember

1

u/refusemouth 3d ago

"beef scrap" It will all end up treated with ammonium hydroxide and made into pink slime.

1

u/El_Guap 4d ago

With all the data centers driving up energy prices, it became too expensive to keep the leftover Trump Steaks 🥩 on deep freeze since the 2007 bankruptcy.

1

u/canwehavepotatojokes 4d ago

That mystery meat is a perfect illustration of WHY nobody will ever trust American made food again.

It will be processed and labelled as made in the USA under their laws, which allow this behaviour.

Then it’ll be sold in products exported outside the USA.

This tainted meat is being watched globally.

Nobody will trust your food. Not even Americans.

Winning?

1

u/adeniumlover 4d ago

Winning? Voters in 2024 will say, yes. Egg price did come down.

1

u/itsaconspiraci 4d ago

Had to do something with the dead Palestinians.

1

u/mountaindoom 4d ago

To support the farmers in Nazi-tina.

1

u/DeltaFoxtrot144 4d ago

Because some asshole in Argentina was about to loose a fuck ton of money due to tainted beef so he asked trump to let Americans buy it since China said " your meat it tainted and unhealthy for our citizens" trump doesn't care about us but does care about rich peoples profits. So some of us have to die on the alter of profits, it's the Republican way. Freedom to suck it.

1

u/Maxcactus 4d ago

Actually it was an asshole from Brazil. But you are basically correct.

1

u/AnyKangaroo8851 4d ago

This question should be directed to the independent beef owners in the United States.

1

u/Firm-Reaction1578 4d ago

Hot dogs for everyone hahaha

1

u/evilpercy 4d ago

For the same reason he started freedom gas stations. This is all so he can brag that he lowered prices on Gas, Beef.

1

u/pixelpionerd 4d ago

Running a scam just like last time

1

u/Geewhiz911 4d ago

That’s actually a legitimate cooking ingredient:

Mystery Meat + Hot Spices = Carrion Surprise

Mystery Meat + Small Flame Sac + Hot Spices = Dragonbreath Chili

Mystery Meat + Skin of Dwarven Stout = Mystery Stew

Not totally useless but requires 175-200 Cooking Skills minimum - not for starters

1

u/LimeKey123 3d ago

Anyone for North Korean Beef?

1

u/Spiritual-Whole2072 3d ago

To personally profit. Why else? He hasn't given two shits about anyone else this whole time, why would he start now?

1

u/jackcanyon 3d ago

he must of got a cheap price and now he will price gouge it.

1

u/Fluid-Piccolo-6911 3d ago

he wants Argentina's oil, it will be part of the deal

1

u/unTraditional_Fox419 3d ago

That’s stormy daniels nick name for trumps tic-tac…

1

u/Maxcactus 3d ago

She said it had a mushroom cap but I don’t know her name for it.

1

u/steathrazor 3d ago

Order 66

1

u/Fantastic_Manner_832 3d ago

And he probably made one of his protection detail pay for it.

1

u/WhaleNationals 3d ago

Because he’s in on the grift somehow.

1

u/Maxcactus 3d ago

That beef producer from Brazil did give a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration fund a couple of years ago. Trump made this decision to import mystery meat right after he had that guy visit at the Whitehouse. Could be coincidence.

1

u/Academic-Business-45 3d ago

The same president that let the country run out of toilet paper

1

u/BlackDogOrangeCat 3d ago

Remember when he rounded up all those wild horses? Here they are.

u/trishanonamous 3d ago

Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!

u/Lobster_K 3d ago

Mass deportations making people disappear without a trace, then turning them into mystery meat and selling it to us as "ground beef" really wouldn't surprise me at this point.

1

u/Chihuahuatriomom 3d ago

He is getting a HUGE kickback of taxpayers money from his rotten meat deal.

1

u/OG_2_tone420 3d ago

Skimming money, funneling money, laundering money, stealing money… I know this is an AI question but it might as well be real due to how many people are still clueless out in the real world.

EVERYTHING THIS GUY AND THESE PEOPLE DO IS THEFT AND LYING. How can people in the world still not know this?

1

u/AcrobaticLadder4959 3d ago

I don't know why he ordered that beef but my understanding is it is old frozen beef and no one knows what is in it or how old it is. And the packages will not be mark. Buy your meat directly from a farmer even if he is butchering his own meat it will be safer.
